"Recreated Silence" was originally intended to be Dub Taylor’s second album. Since Alex Krüger had just released his Dub Techno debut, the "Forms And Figures" album on Raum…musik in early 2001 and another LP "Detect" was already planned to be released in autumn that same year via Forcetracks, seven of the album tracks had been put out under the Shura moniker on the "3b" Label in summer 2001. It often happens that an unfamiliar name gets overlooked even though it most likely would have reached a wider audience with a bigger name on it. So unfortunately this happened here too. While the two Dub Taylor albums both became genre classics for many in the Dub House/Dub Techno field, though the tracks of the double vinyl were un-mistakenly unique Dub Taylor trademark beauties of that era, the Shura album stayed completely under the radar.
 
What fascinates us the most is, how much "Recreated Silence" is the perfect connection between "Forms And Figures" and "Detect". There's the more dirty, atmospheric and experimental approach of the debut paired with the tools, loops and the minimalism of the Forcetracks LP. If you ask the man himself, he'll tell you that even after twenty years this still is his favourite of the three Dub Taylor albums in 2001. There was also a fourth, yet unreleased album, recorded in 2001 that goes beyond the Detect-vibe. But that’s a different story and very likely to be released here in the future.
 
For the reissue we've chosen to swap the original vocal version of "Alone" with its formerly unreleased instrumental mix. The Recreated Silence sessions also included three more unknown tracks of which we felt the spooky ambient tune "Shellac" to blend in perfectly with the other seven tunes from the original "3b" release.
 
So here it is again, freshly remastered, dubby, dirty and for the first time available digital. We really hope you like it as much as we do.

01 - Pink Zebra
02 - Hirokos Riddim
03 - Melancoholic
04 - 33 Travellers

With his new EP, Alex Krüger aka Tigerskin continues his journey through wild, versatile and groovy Caribbean moods and beyond pure club functionality. Pink Zebra and Melancoholic both transport proper island vibes with a wink yet are still undoubtful Tigerskin trademark productions. Hirokos Riddim is a wet-sounding homage to the ‘Sleng Teng Riddim,’ a preset groove found in a certain trashy Japanese keyboard of the early 80s that accidentally lead to the invention of Dancehall Music by King Jammy and Wayne Smith in the mid 80s. The EP closes with the majestic rock-ish 33 Travellers, a tune based on a groove of another model of japanese trash keyboards that Alex distorted and recorded through grannies old tube radio when he was a teenager. Positive vibes for y'all! 

All tracks mixed by Stefan Janson and mastered by Salz Mastering in Cologne.

Scolgio (Johannes Albert Mellow Mix)

Get Physical Music family members Karol XVII & MB Valence unveil their stunning new album, ‘Essay’, in February 2022. Following well-received teaser singles, the full album is a storytelling trip through many shades of heartfelt house.

Polish pair Karol XVII & MB Valence have been a key part of the global dance scene for more than a decade. In that time, they have established their own Loco Records, been nominated as Best Deep House Artists at the Beatport Music Awards and have continued to push the genre forwards. Drawing on their backgrounds as composers and sound engineers, the duo has put out plenty of singles on Get Physical and contributed to 2020's 'Retrospective,' but ‘Essay’ is their boldest artistic statement to date.

The lovely atmosphere of 'Old Memories' opens the album with dreamy ambience and soothing breakbeats before 'Aqua' sinks you into a vast and pillowy deep house groove. It's a gorgeous track detailed with delicate synths. The lead single 'Whispers' is another stylish and seductive track featuring Johannesburg native and vocalist Lazarusman, before Jono McCleery features on 'Fool's Gold,' a richly melodic and harmonic lullaby with vulnerable vocals.

Real late night tension defines 'Echoes & The Beauty' (Jackspeare Interpretation) with its frazzled synths and mysterious rolling beats, while 'Disharmony' is characterised by uneasy, unsettling synth motifs that loop over more cavernous deep house drums. The fascinating album continues through the absorbing dub house and delicate pads of 'Waterfall Drops.' Another Jackspeare Interpretation, this time of 'Sonus,' makes for perfectly meditative and melancholic listening, and 'Bang Bang' then layers soft shakers over big rubbery kicks while a sensuous vocal hangs in the air. The stunning 'Jackspeare Theme' is nearly four minutes of suspensory cosmic ambiance and the album then plays out with the organic broken beats of 'Digisong,' electro-tinged future soul of 'Universum' (Jackspeare Original Interpretation), and pensive synth craft of sublime closer 'Humanity.'

‘Essay’ is the sumptuous sound of two producers at their very best.
